"The result is what it is. Overall, I feel that perhaps we deserved to score a goal, or at least got closer to scoring one. It was a chess match, very tactical, where against the most dominant team in Serie A, we played the game we wanted to. We were solid, had two or three very good chances, with Alex Valle, where it seemed harder to miss than to score, but these things happen."
"Inter have dominated Italian football in the last five years, but they had only one shot on goal today. It leaves a slightly bitter taste in our mouths, because we feel like we could've at least won this 1-0."
Como and Inter drew 0-0 in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Como controlled the match, generating 0.9 expected goals from five shots compared to Inter's 0.1 from three attempts. Alex Valle missed a clear opportunity in the six-yard box that accounted for 0.7 of Como's xG. Fabregas expressed frustration, believing his team deserved victory against Serie A's dominant force. Inter manager Chivu made significant tactical changes, deploying Francesco Pio Esposito as the sole striker with creative midfielders Andy Diouf and Davide Frattesi in support, a formation that struggled without injured captain Lautaro Martinez. The second leg remains decisive.
